PASSIONS OF THE PINK POUI

Harsh is the time of your birth
The bleaching sun, taking away all beauty of the earthly jade.
But out of this parched season,
You bring forth the passions of your ever living substance.

Whispers of the cool, dry winds 
Wave your exquisiteness for all to see.
Canvasing the floor of the soft earth, 
Beneath each towering tree.

The stately soft

Damian  CJ and the guys boarded
The 9 o'clock concord  flight that night
They were on Trinidadian ground 
Within two hours. Then rented a
Limo, chauffer included. When 
Four arrived on the site they noticed the first 
Floor of one building was complete.
The second floor was beginning.
The other hotel only had the first 
Floor complete. At

Premium MemberOh To Be In Trinidad

  Oh, to be in Trinidad
when the hot scented currents flow,
  from East Dry River to Nariva 
samaan and silk cotton tree grow.
  Where whisperin’ palms reach
across island reef and coconut lagoon,
  and the forests of Papa Bois 
flower with poinsettias in bloom

  Oh, to be in Trinidad
inside the spirit

Wistful is the heart, silent the walls
    where the gambols of youth echoed.
A return tale’s sentimental journey
  inside the gates of Sweet Briar Road

Long it behoves me my thanksgiving 
    to you, aunties Yvonne and Jocelyn T.
For all the love you showed withal
     and

Premium MemberDiary of a Child In Trinidad

I remember the land of drums I was born
  bedded beneath great hanging nets;
          the sound of the conch and the horn.
My blue suitcase filled with stuff,
             the red tricycle and pedal car
that

When Needed :: Trinidad Sonnet

Quote :: “TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NONE”- Proverb.

When needed …… (Trinidad Sonnet)

Realized late meaning of that proverb.
Lost some opportunities for lifetime
importance of time just failed to honor.

Sometimes wonder have I accomplished that
aim, what's thought long time back, or wasted time ;
truly don't know where I'm really at.

When needed wasted time, now suffering;
feel lost far

Crimes In Trinidad and Tobago

Ah was standing there liming,
Thinking ah was having some fun
Laughing, drinking, and singing
On the Island of Sun

Along came a car with some thugs
And before you know it,
Ah was shot, and now I will
End up in a 6 foot pit

Yuh cannot take time outside
Yuh own home and land
Cause before you know it
You are shot and it’s

Bus Ride In Trinidad

Oh what a time we had riding on the bus to the Centre!
The scenery was amazing
We felt as if we were with VS Naipaul as we journeyed
The roads were smooth
The atmosphere conducive to productivity
The laughter, the smiles, the shared experiences were enough 
To put our minds at ease as we constantly asked the driver to

The Curry Man From Trinidad

I leave my home in Trinidad
 And I come to live in America
 And now I working at Kmart
 Whole day at a cash register

 But I do have a lot of problems
 Every time I get hungry to eat
 all it has is a bunch of junk food
 Or bread with some artificial meat

I hear that a girl in Trinidad
Looking for a very good husband
My brother says she father rich
Will give me house and land

Well I must admit I thought
This sounds like a good plan
So I decide go to Trinidad
And become she loving husband

When the plane land in the airport
It was getting kind of late
So we drive straight

They running on the beach 
And they playing around 
Dancing to the music 
And singing a song

Or if your hair is full with curls 
You all are superstars 
You are Cool Trinidad girls

Shopping for the latest style

She like to eat plenty pepper
But if you see the girl

The girl is pure class
She says good morning

He says he’s a ladies man
So I ask him to tell me how

He has on a polo shirt
And Michael Jordan sneakers
He driving a Toyota
He just put in some new speakers

He sees a girl passing
So he stand up watching she
And when leave and gone
